Does it bother you when people say horseback riding is easy?

[Sylvia]

Hey, does it only bother me, or do other people feel this way too? No one really understands what I see in riding and my friends say things like: whats the big deal? All you do is sit on a horse! I find this really annoying. What do you guys think about this?

[Lizzie's Girl:)]

yes soooo much!!! ppl at schhool always say "i bet i could do that the first time" and they'v never even rode a horse before!!! it makes me very VERY angry when ppl think that horses r so easy. there not and the only reason they think that horse back riding is easy is because a good rider makes it look extremly easy to someone who has no idea at there talking about!!!!!!!!

[Lizzie's Girl:)]

i also dont like when ppl think that horses r a chore and im like no i luv this. this could never be chore!!!! that also makes me mad!!!

horse back riding is the 4th most dangerous sport on the world!!! and football is like the 50th most dangerous sport in the world!!!!! Horse back riding is so unpredictable cause horses r living animals and they have a mind of there own!!! a football or a soccer ball does not have a mind of its own.

oh my god yes! its sooo annoying. My friend is like "Horse back isn't even a sport is all u do is sit on a horse while they gallop around jumping little jumps. no big deal!" and god its sooo annoying! You do sit on the horse, but u do some of the work as well! And it is to a sport. If it wasn't why would it be in the olympics?? also, if its a sport you do do more than sit on a horse doing nothing. hah. But 3 of my friends actually understand [Well friends from school i don't know from the barn...] they know its a sport and you do work. they have all seen me ride. and yea.. hah.
